under current law, a u.s. citizen cannot be tried in a military tribunal, and that does not change under our amendment. finally, this amendment does not change the treatment of those who are here on temporary visas, such as students or travelers, the kind of visas that were used by the 9/11 terrorists. mr. president, in closing, let me just talk about how this amendment would have changed the treatment of some u.s. citizens detained under the authorization for use of military force during the last 11 years had it become law. first, because this amendment only covers american citizens captured in the united states, it would not have affected the detention of john walker lin, for example. so the only u.s. citizen affected by this amendment would have been jose padilla. if this amendment were the law, jose padilla's detention would have ended as it did under the bush administration, in a federal courtroom where he was charged with aiding terrorists and a terrorist organization. mr. president, since 2001, terroris
